2 PRESENTATION FOCUS Why Measure Customer Satisfaction ESA Web Page Study Results Best Practice Guidelines Example Survey & Activities
3 Why Measure Customer Satisfaction 1. To understand customer quality expectations (i.e., those who receive the program or service) 2. To improve existing programs and services 3. To foster climate of continuous improvement in the ESA 4. To create customer loyalty (e.g., relationships) 5. To provide evidence for funding entities 6. To substantiate claims of success (e.g., marketing; telling your story; accountability) 7. To gain recognition of excellence (e.g., Baldridge Award)
4 Evaluation and Customer Satisfaction 1. Customer satisfaction requires a mixed-methods evaluation design for most useful results in the ESC (i.e., survey, focus group, observation) 2. Poorly focused customer surveys are not customer satisfaction surveys and may generate low response rates and unusable information unless well designed 3. ESC and program or service leaders must Ask Listen Act A wise leader chooses not to defend the program and service when receiving customer criticisms but instead asks Why and What
5 Study Results: ESA Web Sites Purpose: To determine if ESAs are evaluating programs and services and/or measuring customer satisfaction Methods: 1.

14 Rhetoric of Intentions MI RESA Supt. In annual report in looking ahead to : The challenges posed by these difficult economic times have prompted us to expand our forward thinking, comprehensive planning, and effective implementation. To investigate and pilot entrepreneurial ventures, the RESA will carefully monitor social and educational changes, explore new initiatives, and design research-based pilot programs which exhibit potential for providing greater opportunities to the clients we serve.
15 Rhetoric of Intentions In goals of Oregon ESD strategic plan: Goal 3. Design a thoughtful process for developing and/or changing services or programs. The process shall include: *How an idea or service suggestion is presented *Who makes the decision *Is there an advisory process *Define roles and responsibilities of each department *Identify the project manager *Establish timelines *Define communication patterns *Evaluate the implementation process *Define the impact on the user
16 Rhetoric of Intentions In strategic plan of PA IU: Business Plan- Develop and implement a comprehensive business plan that results in: competitive pricing of irresistible services; a framework for evaluating programs and delivery systems, pricing and marketing services; a strong financial position; increased revenue streams to support research and development, new initiatives, and strategic priorities; entrepreneurial/joint ventures; and strategic allocation and deployment of resources.
17 Rhetoric of Intentions In strategic plan of NY BOCES: The BOCES is an innovative educational service organization driven by customer needs and a commitment to excellence, whose mission is to ensure the success of our diverse learners, parents, community members, schools and businesses by providing collaboratively inspired, cost-effective, quality programs in an atmosphere that is safe and supportive. Objectives 100 percent of our customer needs will be met 100 percent of the time. 100 percent of the schools in the GST BOCES region will receive the necessary BOCES support to ensure that their students meet the NYS Learning Standards and diploma requirements. 100 percent of the learners who come to GST BOCES for educational programs will acquire their desired certificate, marketable occupational skills and effective life skills. 100 percent of our employees will rate the BOCES climate as satisfactory and collaborative.
18 Rhetoric of Intentions In mission statement of New Mexico cooperative: The mission of is to research and implement sound educational practices in order to be responsive to client needs. We do this by engaging in research-based practices, developing relationships, and implementing systems to transform education. We do this so that all our clients are successful and effective.
19 Rhetoric of Intentions In annual report of Minnesota cooperative: The priorities of cooperative: Develop a process for evaluating and developing services that incorporates a continuous assessment of our members needs. Identify new partnership opportunities and evaluate current partner relationships, in an effort to develop new services, as well as, to enhance and make more efficient our current services.
20 Rhetoric of Intentions OR ESD Supt. As the new Superintendent of ---- ESD I have come to realize that I was under the misconception that most people knew what an Education Service District does. I have realized over the last four months that many people do not have an understanding of our role and what we do for the schools. I believe that the schools value our services and see the ESD as a necessary partner in educating the students in their districts. I hope that I can help the people living in counties to understand a little better how we help in the education of their children.
21 Your Experiences & Lessons Learned? 1. What has been the most positive experience of your ESC in measuring customer satisfaction or evaluating programs and services? 2. What has been your greatest challenge in measuring customer satisfaction or evaluating programs and services?
22 Best Practice Guidelines: Process 1. Define clearly who is the customer or client 2. Determine end uses of customer satisfaction results 3. Designate capable person and or team to lead the ESC s effort in evaluating customer satisfaction 4. Consider mixed-methods approach to evaluating customer satisfaction 5. Identify customer requirements or quality dimensions
23 Best Practice Guidelines: Process 6. Specify plan for collecting customer satisfaction data and information 7. Design valid and reliable data/information collection instruments 8. Develop most efficient and effective (credible) process for administering the data and information collection instruments 9. Identify expertise needed to analyze the data and information collected 10. Determine communication products for reporting results of customer satisfaction evaluation
24 Best Practice Guidelines: Process 11. Subject each communication product to quality review process 12. Disseminate accurate and consistent message in reporting results to end users 13. Commit adequate resources to measure customer satisfaction and use results 14. Determine impact of results from evaluating customer satisfaction on ESC culture and improvement 15. Revise process for evaluating customer satisfaction if warranted to meet needs of ESC and customers
25 Best Practice Guidelines: Satisfaction Survey 1. Items on questionnaire measure customer satisfaction dimensions 2. Item statements are concise 3. Item statements are unambiguous 4. Item statements contain one thought (not double barreled question)
26 Best Practice Guidelines: Satisfaction Survey 5. Item statements do not contain a double negative (e.g., ESC staff were never not professional) 6. Item statements have appropriate response format (e.g., Likert scale) 7. Total number of item statements is appropriate (i.e., consider impact on response rate) 8. Survey includes additional comment item as last item
27 Best Practice Guidelines: Satisfaction Survey 8. Survey is organized for easy response 9. Customer loyalty (relationship) items are asked first 10. Demographic information is asked last 11. Introduction describes purpose of survey, builds importance, and promises confidentiality and anonymity of response
28 Best Practice Guidelines: Satisfaction Survey 12. Instructions indicate how to respond to each part of survey 13. Response due date is specified 14. Instructions on submitting completed survey is provided 15. Gratitude of thanks is expressed to respondent
29 Example Survey Critique Based on the previous guidelines for developing a good customer satisfaction survey: What needs improved in the following sections of an example survey?
30 Example Survey Critique: Introduction As a valued customer of ESC, we need a few minutes of your time to help us know how satisfied you are with our programs and services. Please submit the survey soon. Thank you!
31 Example Survey Critique: Item Statements 3. How likely would you be to recommend programs and services of ESC to friends or colleagues? Strongly Agree 1 2 Agree 3 4 Neither Agree or Disagree 5 6 Disagree 7 8 Strongly Disagree 9 10
32 See Example Customer Satisfaction Survey 1. Complete the survey as a self-assessment for your ESC For each item, respond as if you had administered the survey to all district superintendents that your ESC served in the last 12 months. Provide what you perceive would be the most likely rating by the group of responding superintendents?
33 See Example Customer Satisfaction Survey 2. Circle the item for which you gave the highest satisfaction rating (you may have several items to circle)
34 See Example Customer Satisfaction Survey 3. Circle the item for which you gave the lowest satisfaction rating (you may have several items to circle) Why do you think the item (choose 1) would be rated low by the superintendents? What could you (your ESC) do to increase the rating of the item by superintendents?
35 See Example Customer Satisfaction Survey 4. Of the highest rated items on the survey, which item would you place on the front page of your ESC web site immediately?
36 Summary 1. Poorly focused customer surveys are not customer satisfaction surveys and may generate low response rates and unusable information unless well designed 2. ESC and program or service leaders must Ask Listen Act A wise leader chooses not to defend the program and service when receiving customer criticisms but instead asks Why and What 3. Use evaluation results to improve services, tell your story, provide factual evidence of ESC accountability, and win competitive grants
